A Class A ▲ forms after sweep of the last Daily High (7673.75), with price now sitting above the MSS level at 7681.25. The displacement spans 7670–7687.75 and contains a bullish FVG between 7672.5–7675.5, which remains unmitigated and sits in the lower portion of the range. Prior swing sequence shows an ITL at 7621.25 followed by an ITH rejection at 7658.75, then another ITL at 7633—establishing a series of lower lows that preceded this reversal structure. The sweep sequence cleared all session liquidity (PDL, Asian/London/PM highs and lows) before the bullish impulse. Price is currently in the PM session (PM SB killzone), and higher-timeframe bias across 15m, 30m, and 60m confirms upside. A student observing this setup should note how the unmitigated FVG in the lower portion of the displacement may serve as a reference point should price correct back into the displacement zone—multiple sweeps often precede deeper structural moves.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

━ VWAP━ EMA 20━ EMA 50┄ EMA 200·━ RSI(14)━ MACD━ Signal

Price sits 16.75 points above VWAP with the full EMA stack in bullish alignment—20, 50, and 200 all ordered beneath the close. RSI at 59.49 indicates strong momentum without overextension into overbought territory. MACD shows the line well above signal (0.77 vs 0.04) with a solid positive histogram of 0.73, confirming upward momentum conviction. Volume at 18,731 contracts is 2.19× the 20-bar average, reflecting heavy participation on the firing bar and suggesting institutional interest in the advance. ATR at 4.77 points indicates moderate volatility for the timeframe, keeping the setup within normal expansion parameters. The combination of an intact EMA structure, sustained positive MACD configuration, and elevated volume without RSI extremes presents a technical picture where intermediate uptrend conditions remain intact and intact.
